It is an excellent fishing line, is all its pros and cons of pro I can say that is highly resistant, one elongation which helps a lot in ultralight fishing (I bought the 6 pounds), poor visibility, the cons is it has lots of memory and tangles easily after a couple of fishing trips. Love the trilene!!
Does the Trilene hold up in water?
Love the trilene!! even in water tends to frizz at slightest pull. I’m using this to hang crystals from my trees and didn’t want a noticeable thread. This is easy to cut, to tie and it holds the weight of the 2″ ball just fine.
